This work takes the form of a performance and a multimedia installation where ancestral memory and futuristic imagination intersect. The performance was born out of anger in response to the colonial violence inflicted upon Ngog Lituba, the sacred mountain of the Bassa people in Cameroon. In 1960, a Christian cross was forcibly placed at its summit, desecrating this sacred site despite the community’s ongoing resistance to this day. This work first took shape through a long process of writing — a deep dive into archives and oral narratives — which gradually led to a rewriting of the myth surrounding Ngog Lituba. The work marks, the beginning of a practice that explores the connections between diaspora, memory, and the necessity of reinventing oneself.
